(when you taste a noodle it should still have a slight chewiness). Add noodles and cook until barely tender, about 3 minutes.
For fresh noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. But it’s so delicious you’ll find yourself making it even when you’re not in a hurry. This dish comes together so quickly it will become your “emergency throw-together meal”. Chopped peanuts – Optional for garnish. If, like me, you feel like the inclusion of a few more veggies couldn’t hurt, go ahead and add some julienned carrots, bell peppers, cabbage, or snap peas. I had a few radishes in the fridge that needed using up so I added them. Veggies – This sesame noodle dish is always served simply with just sliced cucumbers. Chili sauce – Garlic chilli paste, Sambal Oelek, or Sriracha all work. Grated is best here or very finely minced. Fresh ginger root – You can’t leave this ingredient out, it adds wonderful aroma and sharp-bite to the sauce. Sugar or maple syrup – A smidge of sweetness is really essential here to balance all the flavours. If you can find it, Chinese rice vinegar would be even better and in a pinch, you can use white vinegar. Rice vinegar – Adds much needed tanginess to the sauce. Much stronger than regular sesame oil, it adds a very distinct flavour. Toasted Sesame oil – I can’t recommend toasted sesame oil enough for this dish. Low-sodium soy sauce – Here’s our salty, umami flavour. If nut allergies are a concern, you can leave it out. Try and use an unsweetened, natural peanut butter if possible. Peanut butter – Some recipes list it as optional but I love the flavour it adds to the sauce. If you can’t find Chinese sesame paste you can use tahini sauce and add a few more tablespoons of toasted sesame oil. Tahini sauce is made with untoasted sesame seeds. Chinese sesame paste is made with toasted sesame seeds and has a richer, more complex flavour. Chinese sesame paste – Not to be confused with tahini sauce. In terms of thickness, go middle ground for best results-not too thin or too thick. Rice noodles will also work which makes the dish gluten free. That said, I tested the dish using dried udon noodles and loved it just as much. Noodles – Fresh (or frozen) noodles are really best here and you can find them at most Asian markets. Trust me, buy that jar of Chinese Sesame Paste, you will use it over and over to make these takeout-style sesame noodles. 
For the few you don’t, it will be worth a trip to an Asian market. You will likely have most of these ingredients on hand.
